Outboard sport catamarans built around the deck — one cabin or two, and about two feet of draft
You want a boat two people can run without help, that seats a crowd when the afternoon turns into something, and that still puts a bed and a head below you when the evening goes long. That is the brief the Sport line answers.
We review three Sport models — the 32'4" 32 Sport, the 36-foot 36 Sport and the 46'6" 45 Sport. All three are outboard power catamarans on Mercury Verados, all three draw about two feet with the motors up, and all three are laid out around the deck first and the accommodation second.

The Aquila 32 Sport is a 32'4" sport catamaran with a 12'8" beam — twin Mercury Verado V6 225s, a cabin and separate head with shower, 280 gallons of fuel and a 1'10" draft.
The Aquila 36 Sport is a 36'0" sport catamaran with a 14'7" beam — twin Mercury Verado V8 300s, two en-suite cabins, 330 gallons of fuel, a 2'0" draft and an optional Hydro Glide foil.
The Aquila 45 Sport is a 46'6" sport power catamaran — twin Mercury Verado V12 600s for a 57 mph top end, fold-down terraces that open the beam to 19'4", a cabin with a private head and 400 gallons of fuel.

Moving Up the Sport Series
The Sport line does not simply get bigger, and the cabin count is where that shows. The 32 Sport is the two-handed boat: 32'4" on a 12'8" beam, one cabin with its own head and shower, 280 gallons of fuel, and deck room rated for 22 people, on twin Mercury Verado V6 225s with V8 300s and a joystick optional.
The 36 Sport is the only one of the three with two cabins and two en-suite heads, and the only one offered with the Aquila Hydro Glide foil. It seats eight in the forward cockpit, carries 330 gallons, and can be ordered as a closed-off cruiser or in a fishing and diving version with a livewell, rod holders and dive-tank storage.
The 45 Sport goes back to one cabin and spends its length outside instead — twin Mercury Verado V12 600s, 400 gallons of fuel, a king bed below, and fold-out side terraces that open the 15-foot beam to 19'4" at anchor, with hydraulic platforms aft.
So the question is not which one is biggest. If you need two cabins, the answer is the 36, and only the 36.
Our Take
The 36 Sport is the one I would own, and the reason is boring: it is the only Sport with a second cabin and a second head, and the second head is what stops a good weekend turning into a negotiation.
The 45 gets the attention and deserves some of it. The terraces genuinely change what the boat is once you stop, and twin V12s are a lot of engine to have hanging off a 46-foot catamaran. But it sleeps two. If you are buying it to run out and host thirty people at a sandbar, it is exactly right. If you are buying it because it is the biggest one, you are about to pay for length you will spend outside.
And do not skip past the 32. One cabin, one head with a shower, a beam under 13 feet so the slip stays ordinary, and 22 people rated on the deck. For a family that day-boats hard and sleeps aboard four or five nights a year, it is the honest amount of boat.
